No worries..

So the 'only' issue is with the creature appearing prematurely?

It shows up right away no matter what I have set for the post limit.


Edit: The appearance notification keeps coming up after the thread has begun the attacks too.

Are you using a different computer?

It sounds like DOM storage is failing.. Also, could you please snd me a link to the forum where this problem is occurring on.

Thanks.

What keys does this use? Might have to set up another test forum if it requires major ones, lol.

It uses 1 post key and 1 thread key.

Well I installed it on my test forum but nothing happens? turtletestforum.freeforums.net/board/1/general-board is where I've set it to.

I would wait to test this until the rules on how to set up the attacks and such is posted.

I made a minor update last night.. There was a problem checking group IDs making the code non-functional for members that are not in a group.

I'm also looking at removing the need for localStorage, and maybe stopping people from deleting their posts in threads that have creatures.. If posts are deleted before the creature appears the post count is incorrect making them appear prematurely.

Everyone on the forum is in a group and now a Darkness Hunter group so they can get pms about whats in what world.

Ill add a line to the rules about not deleting posts. ^^

Thanks Todge!

Version 0.1.5 is now available removing the need for localStorage..

SessionStorage is still needed, but most browsers allow sessionStorage even when DOM storage is disabled, so the code 'should' work on most browsers no matter what the DOM storage settings.

TinMachine, do you understand the setting by the instructions within the plugin? Or would you like a more in depth rundown?

[Todge]

Are you getting the options on the posting page?

What options? What is supposed to show? As the posting page displays as normal.

Assuming you are an administrator, you should get a 'Creature Group' option..

Is there any way to make it so anyone can start a thread that has creatures showing?

Try adding this to your test board. 


Creature Info


[TITLE]Pokemon
Onix {100-130 15%}
http://i88./k196/MalaikaPyralis/Onix.png


[TITLE]




Appearance Notification


[Onix]An Onix appears!






Attack Notification

Miss


[Onix]Your attack missed the [NAME]! [NAME] Life Remaining: [Life]






Low Damage Notifications



[Onix] Your low attack hardly makes a scratch on the [NAME]. Damage Dealt to [NAME]: [HP] [NAME] Life Remaining: [Life]






Medium Damage Notifications


[Onix]Your attack knocks the [NAME] on its side! [NAME]. Damage Dealt to [NAME]: [HP] [NAME] Life Remaining: [Life]





High Damage Notifications


[Onix] Your attack knocks the [NAME] for a loop! [NAME]. Damage Dealt to [NAME]: [HP] [NAME] Life Remaining: [Life]





Kill Notifications


[Onix] The [NAME] is out for the count! Damage Dealt to [NAME]: [HP] [NAME] Life Remaining: [Life]



You need to have the creatures name in brackets at the start of the attacks so the plug in knows that attack is for that creature. You dont need to have it after every attack, just for the first one if you are going to list several attacks.

You can use [NAME] instead of tying the name of the creature over and over so you can reuse the same attacks for creatures in the future without having to edit. 

[HP] shows what the damage is from the attack.

[LIFE] shows what life it has left. 

If you want it to be a swarm you need to add an * after the title name and after the name in brackets for the attacks. 

Todge made it easy. ^^

Hmm. The creature still comes up after the first post, so does the attack button. But I think it will be fine. They seem to want to control when the creature comes in. So I think ill use the intro as a pop up that tells what the creature is instead of its first attack and just set it for after the first post. I think that will fix the confusion. ^^

I think its good to go!

Strange, and somewhat frustrating...

Could you both install this version on your forums, then start a thread and add a creature.

After you have done that, and on the thread page your should get 2 pop-ups, could you please post here what they say.. Post replies until you get to the reply when the creature should appear, you should then get a 3rd pop-up.. Post here what that says too.
